Heavy fleet operating on a working site in Ghana
Darikoda · See the operating record

You can describe the leak. Now you can see what closes it.

The record between what your machines did and what you can account for has always been the pitch. This is what it looks like on screen.

The cost of every machine, fuel evidenced at the event, margin caught before it goes, the certificate pack already assembled. Captured at source.

Reply within the hour during UK and Ghana business hours

This is the Darikoda operating record on screen: the live cost of every machine, a fuel dispense evidenced at the event, margin flagged before it erodes, downtime owned per asset, and a certificate pack assembled rather than reconstructed. What the operator gets, shown as outcomes. Captured at source.

An argument you can read is not the same as a record you can see.

For a long time the operating record was a case we made in words. The leak is real, the evidence is missing, the record closes the gap. All true, and all still just a claim until you watch it happen.

So here it is as outcomes. Not the machinery underneath, and not a feature tour. Each screen below answers one question a buyer actually asks: what do I get, and what decision does it hand me.

On screen

Six screens. Six decisions they hand you.

Read the caption under each one. That is the outcome the screen delivers, in the words you would use to a finance director.

Money leaves on a record

Money leaves only against a record someone approved. Who signed, on what evidence, still there next quarter.

Heavy equipment on a Ghana site at the end of a shift
One shift

The shift ends. The record does not.

From the first fuel dispense to the certificate that clears, every outcome above holds from the pit edge to the month-end review.

From capture to export, in one shift.

A short walkthrough of a working day, told as what you get, not what you tap.

  1. 01The shift starts, and the first fuel dispense is already a record, not a note to reconcile later.
  2. 02By mid-morning the cost of each machine is moving in front of you, not waiting for month-end.
  3. 03A job drifts below its priced margin and you see it while there is still a shift left to steer.
  4. 04The claim goes out with its evidence attached, and the record is still there when it is queried a quarter later.

What a Darikoda audit finds

Three fixes, ranked by what they bring back.

This is the one-page leak map the free audit produces. A sample, so you can see the shape of it before you book. Yours is built on your own operation.

Example format only. Your numbers come from the audit.Anonymised sample

Sample operation: a mid-size haulage contractor running 14 machines on day-works. Details changed. No real operator is shown.

01FuelTier A and B

What the audit sees

Diesel leaves the bowser without being tied to the machine it went into. The month-end variance gets absorbed, unrecovered.

What changes

Every dispense stands as a record you can defend. The variance turns into money you can chase.

5% recovered on a USD 100,000 monthly diesel spend is USD 5,000 a month. (Illustrative model, your number from the audit.)

02DowntimeTier B

What the audit sees

Idle hours sit inside a single breakdown line. No machine owns the loss, so the worst asset hides in the fleet average.

What changes

Idle is owned per machine. The asset dragging the month down is named, and it gets worked first.

600 idle machine-hours a year at GHS 250 an ownership-hour is GHS 150,000. (Illustrative model, your number from the audit.)

03MarginTier B

What the audit sees

Project margin only becomes visible at final account, after the drift has already been spent.

What changes

Margin drift shows while the job is still running, in time to steer instead of explain.

1 point of margin held on a USD 2,000,000 contract is USD 20,000. (Illustrative model, your number from the audit.)

The 30-minute audit produces this for your operation, ranked by likely commercial impact. You keep it regardless of next steps.

Figures above are an illustrative model on stated rates, not a measurement of any real operation. Patterns are drawn from field audits across Ghana's mining, construction, roadworks, and quarry sectors. No specific operator is named or identifiable.

Want to see this on your own operation?

About what you are seeing.

Are these real screenshots?

The frames are branded placeholders while the real screens are captured from the live operation. Each carries a visible capture-pending badge until then. The outcome each screen delivers, written in the caption, is already fixed and will not change when the real image lands.

Why show outcomes instead of features?

A buyer does not buy a screen, they buy the decision it hands them. Each caption states what you get in the words you would use to a finance director: the cost of a machine, a fuel dispense you can defend, margin caught in time to steer.

Is the sample audit finding a real operator?

No. It is an illustrative model on stated rates, anonymised, with no operator named or identifiable. Every figure is tagged as illustrative. Your own numbers come from the free audit.

Can I see it running on my own fleet?

Yes. The free 30-minute audit produces a one-page leak map for your operation, with three prioritised fixes you keep regardless of next steps. Message Theo on WhatsApp to book.
